Pat Gleason's life began on March 14th, 1904, in the vibrant city of San Francisco, California, USA, a place known for its iconic Golden Gate Bridge, steep hills, and rich cultural heritage. He grew up to become a talented actor, leaving an indelible mark on the film industry with his memorable performances in notable movies such as Deadline (1948),a gripping drama that kept audiences on the edge of their seats, Alice in Wonderland (1931),a beloved classic that transported viewers to a fantastical world, and Detour (1945),a psychological thriller that still sends shivers down the spines of viewers today. Unfortunately, his life came to a close on February 10th, 1993, in San Jose, California, USA, a city known for its cultural attractions, outdoor recreational opportunities, and proximity to the heart of Silicon Valley.
